Shared Vision Statement
SHARED VISION STATEMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Salina will be a city that is excitfng to live in and thriving both economically and socially.
The city will be clean, attractfve and invitfng. Local residents will demonstrate their community
pride by sharing Salina’s attributes with others. As a result, Salina will be a place
with a quality of life that not only appeals to residents, but also to visitors.
Salina will be a city that encourages quality, market-driven, mixed-use development that
compliments community cohesiveness. This includes an emphasis on affordable housing
that appeals to different lifestyles.
Salina will become a city with “connectfvity.” This means that bicycle and walking trails
along roadways, the flood control levee and the Smoky Hill River will be used to connect
residentfal neighborhoods, commercial areas, schools and parks. These connectfons will
eventually intersect with public transit pick-up/drop-off points. In additfon, connectfvity
will also include community-wide informatfon sharing through the latest electronic wireless
technology.
The city of Salina will be attractfve and well maintained, both within the city and along the
adjacent interstate highways. It will be evident that good housekeeping and high community
standards are valued. Salina will be environmentally conscious, balancing the expectatfons
of a growing community with the necessity to preserve nature’s assets and our future
quality of life.
The city of Salina will have master planned its assets in the Kenwood / Oakdale Park area
west to the downtown business district in order to utflize them to their fullest potentfal. This
will include the development of a uniformly managed, core destfnatfon complex for both
residents and visitors. This complex will be surrounded by high quality, mixed-use development
with an evident connectfon to downtown that complements existfng commercial and
residentfal assets.

The City Commission of Salina will have committed to providing the highest quality of city
services possible within available resources. The City Commission recognizes their role
and responsibility to provide the needed policy directfon and resources to its administratfon.
At the same tfme, the city’s administratfve personnel are committed daily to transforming
this directfon and resources into the highest possible quality of municipal services, consistent
with the expectatfons of both the City Commission and the citfzens of Salina.
Downtown Salina will be a thriving and vibrant place. It will include an artfstfc flair that
complements diverse and successful business development, including: entertainment, professional
services, restaurants and retail development. In additfon, the downtown will include
residentfal uses and places to congregate consistent with the desired, mixed-use actfvity.
Salina will be supportfve of life-long learning through all forms of educatfon, including
elementary and secondary educatfon, higher educatfon and vocatfonal / technical training.
Special initfatfve will be taken to advance the presence and community impact of postsecondary
educatfon.
Salina will be a town that is respectiul of its heritage. Throughout Salina, the adaptfve reuse
of historic and architecturally significant buildings will be encouraged, along with the
potentfal rehabilitatfon of brick streets in locatfons such as the downtown. In additfon, Salina
will begin making efforts to be an environmentally friendly community.
Salina will encourage and be supportfve of industrial development, economic expansion,
market-driven tax base growth, and home grown entrepreneurialism. Special emphasis
shall be placed on redeveloping the Airport and South Industrial Area and the reclamatfon
of environmentally disadvantaged propertfes for higher and better use.

Executive Summary
July 10, 2017
The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
City of Salina, Kansas
Mayor Crawford and Commissioners:
As Chief Executfve Officer, a primary duty of the City Manager is to annually prepare and propose to
the City Commission a financial business plan for the municipal government. Kansas state statutes
(K.S.A. 12-1014) and the budget submittal requirements contained in the City of Salina Financial Poli-
cies provide both guidance and the framework for this duty. As a result, it is my privilege to place be-
fore the City Commission the proposed 2018 Budget.
City staff has been working on the budget in various capacitfes since April. Department directors be-
gan with the operatfonal areas of the budget, analyzing the service plans, needs, costs and effectfve-
ness related to their departmental operatfons. Various follow-up reviews and revisions at the Finance
Department and City Manager’s Office levels addressed the more “strategic” factors of budget alloca-
tfons, financial planning and decision-making. As a result of our current transitfon in the finance direc-
tor positfon, the accountfng firm of Allen, Gibbs and Houlik, L.C. has provided invaluable consultatfon
and hands-on assistance to the Finance Department for the development of this budget.
The complete budget document is very lengthy and contains a “line-item” approach to budgetfng for
all functfons of city government. The detail portfon is focused on the basic spending units and is in
many ways an accountfng document. However, the annual budget has also been viewed by staff and
the governing body as a planning document. To assist the City Commission in your review of the ser-
vice goal, policy and planning aspects of the budgetary process, with this budget message I have pro-
vided a budget overview and summary pages. This includes: tax levy informatfon, budgeted revenues
and expenditures, fund balance projectfons, debt service plans and much more.
The 2018 budget year is projected to show contfnued improvement over the recent recession years.
Real property values have grown by 2.24% total; with existfng property values growing by 1.29% and
the value of new development adding the remaining .95%. Sales taxes revenues are budgeted to in-
crease by 2.5% for 2018 based on current 2017 projectfons and a presumed stable 2018 retail sales
year. The City contfnues to face some expenditure growth due to service demands, while also empha-
sizing a healthier General Fund year-end balance. Efforts to control expenditures, including utflizatfon
of one tfme opportunitfes, contfnuatfon of the General Fund tax stabilizatfon transfer from the special
sales tax, use of the special sales tax to fund certain major equipment purchases and an intense review
of operatfonal, line-item requests are on-going. We are contfnuing to implement our “lean manage-
ment” philosophy to target reductfons in those areas where it is possible to become more efficient,
while maintaining the quality of services provided. We believe this has been very beneficial for stabiliz-
ing our operatfonal costs over the last two to three years.
17
Executive Summary
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The primary focus in the preparatfon of the 2018 Budget is to maintain service levels and increase
capital investment without an increase in the property tax mill levy while also working to ensure
fund balances are at or slightly exceeding targeted levels. The 2018 Budget currently provides for
an average 3% increase in total salary costs to allow for merit adjustments of up to 3%, depending
on individual employee performance, and an across-the-board pay plan adjustment of 2%.
Throughout the year, we also review requests for targeted reclassificatfons associated with re-
cruitment and retentfon.
The 2018 Budget authorizes a total expenditure level of $99.6 million, net of reserves. If transfers
are removed, this amount is reduced to approximately $91 million. The comparable amount for
2017 net of transfers and reserves is $89 million. The increase from 2016 to 2018 is mostly
attributable to the increase in budge authority for the Special Sales Tax Fund and the increased
General Fund reserve carry-over balance that must be shown as a budgeted expenditure.
General Fund revenues for 2018 (including internal transactfons) total $42,836,248. General Fund
expenditures (net of reserves) are budgeted to be $42,201,563. This difference provides a project-
ed gain of $634,684 in the General Fund, which is needed to make progress towards the targeted
fund balance, which is recommended to go from $5 million to $8.5 million, or 20% of the total ex-
penditures.
Total City of Salina property tax mill levy is budgeted to be 27.603, the same as the final mill levy
rate for 2017. Please note the final mill levy rate can vary slightly from the budgeted rate due to
final determinatfons on valuatfon appeals.
The City of Salina portfon of total property taxes paid by our residents and businesses will contfnue
to be approximately 20% of total property taxes paid from all taxing entftfes and we will contfnue
to have one of the lowest property tax rates of any first-class city in Kansas. However, this very
conservatfve approach also limits our organizatfon’s ability to address many important community
needs.
Our recent focus on major street maintenance and rehabilitatfon contfnues in 2018. The budget
includes approximately $946,000 for capital projects and $487,000 for basic maintenance from the
gas tax and $3.7 million in special sales tax dedicated fully to capital projects. This is consistent
with current year spending for street investment.
BUDGET OVERVIEW
We are seeing some incremental, positfve signs as it relates to the City’s overall financial conditfon
and budget health. For the General Fund in 2018, we expect to meet our service and capital invest-
ment needs, while also increasing our cash basis fund balance beyond the current year tar-
get. This will allow us to adjust the fund balance target and take a healthy step towards it.
As a side note, we internally track our fund balance on a cash basis, while it is reflected in
our financial statements on a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accountfng Principles) basis. Typi-
18
Executive Summary
cally, a GAAP adjusted number is significantly higher than a cash number.
As provided for in past years, the proposed 2018 Budget is designed to contain some flexibility for the
City Commission to address needs which may arise over the coming year. The City Commission and man-
agement have the ability to address additfonal goal-related programs and/or unexpected needs through
budget amendments or changing allocatfons, as needed. This flexibility is partfcularly available for capital
needs. For most budgeted funds, this proposed budget also maintains reasonable and appropriate con-
tfngency funds and unobligated reserves which are at or exceed established financial targets.
KEY FINANCIAL POINTS
1. Property Taxes:
The proposed budget provides for stability in the property tax mill levy at 27.603 mills, although the
2.24% growth in property values will result in an increase in the actual tax dollars that are received. The
additfonal proceeds are combined with other revenue enhancements and budget savings to help stabi-
lize the financial positfon of the General Fund. Ad Valorem tax dollars received are antfcipated to in-
crease from $11,615,912 to $11,705,894.
The total proposed mill levy of 27.603 is allocated among two separate, budgeted funds. The largest al-
locatfon of 21.533 mills goes to the General Fund as established under state law. The levy for the Bond
and Interest Fund is set to 6.07 mills. This is pretty consistent with the current year allocatfon of the mill
levy. Any change in allocatfon is due to a combinatfon of factors, including a fixed debt retfrement
schedule, change in in property values, and an aggressive capital improvements program.
2. General Sales Tax:
The proposed budget provides revised sales tax projectfons for 2017. Sales taxes have shown a slightly
positfve trend in 2017, with year-to-date revenues increasing from the same period in 2017. We have
projected the year-end, 2017 growth rate to be at 2.5%, and included that same growth rate for the 2018
projectfons.
3. Special Sales Tax:
The City’s special sales tax is at a rate of .4% through September 30, 2016. The rate increased to .75% on
October 1, 2016. This revenue is dedicated to economic development, capital improvements and tax sta-
bilizatfon in accordance with commitments to the voters. Approximately 92% of the special sales tax is
utflized for capital improvements. Of this amount, $1.35 million is allocated to the debt on Kenwood
Cove. Approximately $3.7 million is allocated for street improvements. The remaining balance is for oth-
er capital and non-capital needs, including but not limited to: park and recreatfonal enhancements, spe-
cial projects, economic development funding, equipment replacement and property tax stabilizatfon.

Executive Summary
ing, equipment replacement and property tax stabilizatfon.
4. Total Expenditures:
The 2018 Budget antfcipates cash expenditures of approximately $99.6 million. These budget estfmates
are based on a conservatfve approach to expenditure projectfons. Not included in the above estfmates
are capital costs of new projects to be financed by general obligatfon bonds and/or special assessments
or the share of capital improvement projects attributed to grants. Annual bond payments on major
capital projects are reflected as budgeted expenditures in the years these payments are due and over
the life of the bond issue.
5. Fund Balances:
In the City’s strategic financial planning and management system, achieving the target fund balances as
established for all of our budgeted funds remains a critfcal financial objectfve. Fund balances are held
for multfple purposes. These include, but are not limited to: rainy day or emergency funds to cover
revenue shortialls, large unantfcipated expenditures, ongoing cash flows, coverage for variance in budg-
et estfmates, and preservatfon of our bond ratfng. Those funds that do not have designated target fund
balances are used primarily for pass-through purposes. The 2018 draft budget provides that all funds,
except the General Fund, will end the year meetfng their target fund balance. Please keep in mind that
we will have to pay close attentfon to the Golf Course Fund and Central Garage Fund since these are
small operatfons which can have significant fluctuatfons.
In 2013, the target fund balance for the General Fund was increased to $5 million from $3.6 million
(expressed in a cash basis). The adopted City Budgetary and Financial Policies require that the fund
balance target be maintained at 15% to 20% of total annual revenues. The Government Finance Offic-
ers Associatfng (GFOA) recommends that balances be no less than 2 months of operatfng revenues,
which equals 16.7%. That would place the minimum target at $7.1 million, with the preferred target at
about $8.5 million. Staff is recommending changing the target balance to $8.5 million at this tfme. For
2018, the General Fund is expected to be approximately $6.4 million (cash basis) at year-end. Reach-
ing the target new target level will be a multf-year process and will contfnue over the next few budget
years.
Enterprise funds are generally set with a somewhat higher target since they do not have the stability of
the property tax to rely on. Based on the revenue stream in the Water and Wastewater Fund, the rec-
ommendatfon is that the operatfng target balance is changed from $3.5 million to $5 million.

Executive Summary
6. Bond Issues:
(a) General Obligatfon Bonds –
For the year 2018, we expect a normal schedule of general obligatfon (G.O.) bond issu
ances. In mid to late 2018, we will hold our regularly scheduled bond issue to finance
approved special assessment and City at large projects. As has been our practfce in re
cent years, we will also review any potentfal savings that might be realized by refinance
ing outstanding debt that is eligible.
(b) Temporary Notes –
Temporary note financing in 2018 will likely be for special assessment projects as well as
for identffied City at large improvements as identffied in the Capital Improvements Pro
gram. Temporary notes are used as an affordable, short-term financing tool untfl capital
projects are completed and can be bundled together for G.O. bond financing.
(c) STAR Bonds –
The City will contfnue working towards the issuance of STAR Bonds to help finance the
downtown redevelopment efforts that are currently underway.
Updates to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for 2018
Fees and charges for the City of Salina are updated by resolutfon, or are established by authorized admin-
istratfve actfon. As reviewed in the study session on July 10, 2017, rates for some fees are proposed to be
adjusted for inflatfon between 2% to 3% per year. In some cases there may be larger increases or slight
decreases to accommodate cost of service or market pricing consideratfons, or to result in a round num-
ber for ease of processing. This has been a past directfve of the City Commission.
As always, there are a number of exceptfons to this treatment. Some fees (Alcohol Licenses, for example)
are capped by statute. Others are subject to review or requests from Advisory Boards and Commissions
(Business Improvement District, Building Advisory Board). The Municipal Court Judge sets the schedule of
fines for Municipal Court. Finally, most Parks and Recreatfon fees are set on a programmatfc basis follow-
ing the “Parks and Recreatfon Revenue and Pricing Policy” adopted by the City Commission. These fees
can change frequently as pro grams are modified or created. A couple of other exceptfons include low
amount, flat fees in which small incremental changes have a large percentage affect, and a few new per-
mit/inspectfon fees as recommended by the Fire Department.
Further changes will be proposed later in the year to major categories including water and
sewer rates after more year-to-date informatfon is available to allow for better accuracy in projectfons of
revenues, expenses and fund balances.

Executive Summary
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
2018 Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) – Major Projects
The 2017-2021 CIP includes the following projects for 2018, with some minor modificatfons as reflected
by current year actfons of the governing body, include:
Waterline Improvements: For waterline improvements, $4 million is scheduled to be financed using
revenue bonds or reserve funds. This project is scheduled to replace the oldest and most occluded
lines within the City. Constructfon will likely contfnue at least through 2018.
Hike Bike Trail (through 2025): Complete annual segments of the trail improvements. Proposed
cost is $50,000 and will be funded from sales tax receipts.
Gateway Interstate Signage (1 of 4): Install “Salina” monument signs east and west on I-70 and
north and south on I-135. Proposed cost is $130,000 and will be funded from sales tax receipts.
South Well Field Improvements: The Raw Water Supply Study identffied a number of improvements
to the South Wellfield and plant that will be necessary to insure a high quality reliable water supply
though 2060. The project will incorporate a number of improvements to existfng facilitfes as well as
new facilitfes that may be required. Estfmated cost is $32 million and will be funded through KDHE
revolving loan funds. For this project, $3.66 million has been obligated to date for owner’s repre-
sentatfve services and the first phase of design-build services. For 2018, staff antfcipates the con-
structfon, combined with legal/administratfve costs to be $28.4 million.
Lightfng at ECRA: The CIP for 2018 includes $330,000 from the special sales tax for lightfng replace-
ment for East Crawford Recreatfon Area (ECRA).
Smoky Hill River - Final Design: The River Renewal Project focuses on removing sediment, trash and
debris removal; re-shaping the banks; constructfng a single accessible hike/bike path; and providing
a community gathering place along the downtown portfon of the channel. Total project cost is cur-
rently authorized at $27 million, but will likely change in the future due to possible private fundrais-
ing and federal funding assistance. The preliminary design has been contracted for in the amount of
$3,295,700 in the current year. The final design cost for 2018 is estfmated to be $2,000,000.
22
Executive Summary
Street Enhancement Program: Contfnuatfon of the transportatfon enhancement initfatfve that is
funded through the special sales tax is once again recommended. This program focuses on major
street maintenance and rehabilitatfon, unpaved streets and entryway/corridor enhancements, traffic
controls, sidewalks, etc. The amount scheduled for 2018 is budgeted at $3.7 million.
Parks Capital Improvement Plan, Phase One: Initfal projects identffied in the parks master plan
(planning process currently underway) will be funded from the special sales tax in the amount of
$170,000.
Police Training Center Constructfon: The Salina Police Department firing range has been used by the
Department since 1974. It has a number of serious deficiencies, including safety issues, poor range
constructfon, general deterioratfon, and an inadequate training facility. A new facility would encom-
pass up to 10 firing lanes, 2 rifle lanes, a garage for high value assets, and a modern classroom facility.
Proposed cost: $4,500,000 and will be funded through General Obligatfon bonds.
Other Capital Project items included in the 2018 Budget include:
Replace Lightfng for East Crawford Recreatfon Area, Matson Field and Dean Evans: The current
lightfng at the East Crawford recreatfon area is more than 28 years old and does not meet minimum
industry standards of 30 horizontal foot candles in the infield and 20 horizontal foot candles in the
outiield. Current illuminatfon levels are 17 horizontal foot candles in the infield and less than 10 in the
outiield. The age of the fixtures is also resultfng in increasing maintenance costs. The new light fix-
tures require less than half of the energy as the current fixtures. Cost includes 25 year warranty on
maintenance, labor and materials. Estfmated cost is $330,000 and will be funded through sales tax.
A formal update to the full Five-Year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) will be completed in late 2018
at which tfme the list of projects will be updated/changed based on priority and Commission guidance.
The additfonal revenue received from the increased sales tax will play an important role in allowing the
City Commission to prioritfze and identffy funding for projects.
Operating Capital
The City normally budgets for routfne replacement of new vehicles, equipment, and building mainte-
nance and repair. Our process has typically been to budget an “allowance” for these actfvitfes and then
prepare for the City Commission a specific list for approval just prior to the beginning of the budget year.
Allowances provided in the 2016 budget for this purpose include the following:
Special Sales Tax: The 2018 recommended budget allocates $1,177,500 for major vehicles and equip-
ment, and $91,000 for building and facilitfes items that cannot be funded by the General Fund.
23
Executive Summary
Special Parks: For 2018, $194,000 has been allocated for park and recreatfon facility enhancements,
consistent with antfcipated revenues from the special alcohol tax allocatfons.
Water and Wastewater: The Water and Wastewater Fund includes a budgetary allowance of
$502,000 for vehicles and equipment replacement and $70,000 for buildings and facilitfes. In addi-
tfon, $2 million has been set aside for system enhancements to cover the costs of routfne repairs
and minor improvements to utflity infrastructure.
Reserve Funds:
Several capital improvement reserve funds have been established over the years to assist with major
capital replacement needs. In general, these funds are allocated resources by budgeted transfers from
operatfng funds. They may accumulate fund balances over a number of years. In accordance with Kan-
sas budget law, projects financed by these funds must be authorized, but need not be “budgeted” in
the same sense as the rest of the operatfng budget. These reserve funds are as follows:
Flood and Drainage: This fund was established in response to community flooding in 1996. The
purpose of the fund is to construct flood and drainage control systems to minimize the future
effects of localized flooding on the community. The City is authorized to levy up to 1 mill in proper-
ty taxes to finance these projects, but has not done so for several years due to financial constraints.
There are no remaining resources available for future drainage projects at this tfme. Providing addi-
tfonal dedicated resources for this purpose could be done by reinstatfng the mill levy for this need,
by transfer of resources from the General Fund, or by allocatfng sales tax revenues for the projects.
EPA Equipment Reserve: This fund was established in regards to the United States Environmental
Protectfon Agency (EPA) requirements to provide resources for replacement of equipment at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant. This fund is financed through an annual transfer of $60,302 from the
Water and Wastewater Operatfng Fund. The balance in the fund is currently $177,000.
Water and Wastewater Improvements Fund: This fund is intended to annually provide resources
for economic development related utflitfes infrastructure needs and to save for major development-
related projects. The fund has over $9 million in antfcipatfon of major, future capital projects.
Solid Waste Capital Reserve Fund: This fund was established in 2013. Payments on bond and inter-
est obligatfons and capital equipment replacement come from this fund.

Executive Summary
GENERAL PERSONNEL ISSUES
1. Pay Plan –
Many positfons within the pay plan were adjusted in 2016 resultfng in an annual increase in salaries
of around $600,000. The 2018 budget incorporates an amount equivalent to 4% of annual salaries
to be used for merit consideratfon up to 3% and an overall pay plan adjustment of 2%.
2. Health Insurance –
The 2018 budget includes an increase in health premiums of 5%. The current plan year does not
end untfl January 31, 2018, so final determinatfons on premium levels and plan design will be made
later in 2017.
3. Staffing Issues –
The 2018 authorized full-tfme employment for the City is 476, with 10 classified part-tfme employ-
ees and approximately 350 temporary/seasonal employees utflized throughout the year.
The budget, as proposed, includes contfnuing to freeze the hiring of vacant positfons on a case-by-case ba-
sis. Future positfon openings will be assessed based on service impact. Since mid-2008, a total of 43.5 full
-tfme equivalent (FTE) positfons have been eliminated or frozen through attritfon.
AGENCY CONTRACTS AND GRANTS
The City has ongoing General Fund operatfng grant relatfonships with various local agencies. These in-
clude, but are not limited to: the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, Salina Downtown, Inc. and the Occu-
patfonal Center for Central Kansas (OCCK). This budget has been prepared in accordance with Commission
directfon on the funding for these agencies.
CONCLUSION
Salina is a wonderful community that offers a great quality of life for our residents. We believe that our
city government contributes to our community through the provision of quality city services and infrastruc-
ture improvements. Salina citfzens have high aspiratfons for the community and high expectatfons for lo-
cal government performance. We strive contfnually to meet and exceed those expectatfons. We also rec-
ognize that our residents and business people expect the highest level of efficiency, effectfveness, effort,
and service.
25
While we have consistently worked to improve our overall financial positfon, we antfcipate that 2017 will
once again be a challenging budget year. It is for this reason that staff is making budget recommendatfons
that will realign our organizatfon and establish a roadmap to future financial stability. However, we contfn-
ue to struggle to meet all of our community’s service delivery and infrastructure needs, and public
expectatfons, due to limited funding. Our prioritfes are governed by the City’s Strategic Plan, Comprehen-
sive Plan and related guidance from the City Commission. Staff contfnues to remain focused on providing
the best value to our citfzens with the resources available.
The City’s efforts do not start and end with approval of the annual budget. The work of effectfve budgetfng
and financial management is a year-round actfvity. The City Commission provides contfnuing policy direc-
tfon and the policy framework to the staff at study sessions, regular meetfngs and workshops. That guid-
ance is used in future budget formulatfon. In additfon, current year budgets must remain fluid and adapta-
ble to changing goals, needs and circumstances. Efficient management of budgeted programs and projects
is essentfal throughout the year.
This proposed budget represents the best efforts of staff. It is consistent with your adopted financial poli-
cies and designed to meet your major and minor goals. It is now placed before the governing body for its
consideratfon, modificatfon and eventual adoptfon. Once adopted, we will give our best professional
efforts to implement this budget in an efficient manner and achieve contfnued success through it.
The community of Salina and its municipal government are moving confidently forward. Your staff be-
lieves that the proposed 2018 Budget is a major part of what will allow us to contfnue to progress and
prosper as a community.
Respectiully submitted,

Pension and Employee Retirement Plans
The Issuer partfcipates in the Kansas Public Employees Retfrement System (“KPERS”) established in 1962,
as an instrumentality of the State, pursuant to K.S.A. 74-4901 et seq., to provide retfrement and related
benefits to public employees in Kansas. KPERS is governed by a board of trustees consistfng of nine mem-
bers, including four members appointed by the Governor subject to confirmatfon by the State Senate,
one appointed by the President of the Senate, one appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tfves, two elected by members and retfrees of the retfrement system, which must be members of such
system, and the State Treasurer. Members of the board of trustees serve four‑year terms and elect a
chairperson annually. The board of trustees appoints an Executfve Director to serve as the managing

ECONOMIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CITY
The City of Salina benefits from its locatfon at the junctfon of Interstate Highways 70 and 135. This con-
venient locatfon has drawn numerous natfonal and regional companies to open manufacturing or distri-
butfon centers in or adjacent to the City. Such companies include Schwan’s Global Supply Chain, Inc., Sa-
lina Vortex, GeoProbe, Bergkamp, Kasa Industrial Controls, Premier Pneumatfcs, Great Plains Manufactur-
ing, PKM Steel, Crestwood Cabinets, McShares, Inc., Pepsi Cola, ElDorado Bus, Exide Battery, Advance Au-
to Parts Distributfon Center, and Philips Lightfng. Currently, manufacturing, retail trade, and service in-
dustries rank as the three primary employers in the City. No single industry is dominant. The
government sector and wholesale trade industries make up the second tfer of Salina employ-
ers.
30
City Profile
The City serves as a 24-county regional trade center for north central Kansas. Many individuals and busi-
nesses within a 70-mile radius travel to the City to purchase consumer goods and services. This designa-
tfon as a regional trade center is supported by the fact that the City had the third highest “trade pull fac-
tor” of all Kansas first class citfes in 2012 according to Kansas State University. City trade pull factor is
computed by dividing the per capita sales tax of a city by the statewide per capita sales tax.
Saline County is located in the center of one of the most productfve agricultural areas in the United
States. In 2012, 674 farms were located on 364,468 acres. Farm crops were valued at over $84 million
harvested on 215,740 acres. Cattle and milk produced was valued at over $24 million.
Salina is a city centered more on industry than agriculture. Currently, there are approximately 100 man-
ufacturing and processing companies located in the City. The City, Saline County, the Chamber of Com-
merce, and the Salina Airport Authority have developed several economic incentfves which can be
offered as inducements to opening industrial facilitfes. These include property tax abatement for basic
industry, the waiving of building permit and inspectfon fees, refunding of sales tax paid on machinery
and equipment, and providing training for employees through the Salina Area Technical College and the
Kansas State University at Salina. Additfonally, a “build-to-suit-tenant” agreement is available on sites in
the Airport Industrial Center that can provide 100% financing for land and building costs.
USD 305 is nearing completfon of $100M of facility renovatfons and constructfon that includes renova-
tfons and expansion of each elementary school in the community, renovatfon to Salina Central High
School and new constructfon of Salina South High School.
In January of 2017, the City Commission took several actfons authorizing the initfatfon of a downtown
redevelopment project with an estfmated value of $150M. Key elements include a $12.65M downtown
streetscape improvement, constructfon of a $20M downtown Homewood Suites Hotel, constructfon of
“The Alley” family entertainment complex, renovatfon of the Stfefel Theatre, constructfon of a car muse-
um and renovatfons of various storefronts and spaces in downtown The City also completed construc-
tfon of a $12M multf-purpose athletfc field house in the downtown in July of 2017.
Other development in the community includes a $9.2M renovatfon of the former Bank of America build-
ing into the Kansas University School of Medicine– Salina Campus, constructfon of multfple hotels, con-
structfon and renovatfon of various restaurant and retail locatfons and contfnued platting and construc-
tfon of residentfal subdivisions throughout the community.
The community has 1,200 acres of industrial sites available in North Salina, the South Industrial District
and the Airport Industrial Center. Sites range in size from 1 to 240 acres and are available for aviatfon,
manufacturing, and distributfon and warehouse businesses.
31
Budget Process
Each August, the City Commission adopts an annual budget which serves as the primary policy document
for City operatfons over the course of the following year. The scarcity of resources and stewardship of
public funds makes the budget process vital to government operatfons. In additfon to the input of citf-
zens, Commission members and staff, the annual budget is created in an environment governed by State
law, Generally Accepted Accountfng Principles (GAAP) and City policy.
State Statutes
Statutes of the State of Kansas govern the operatfng budget process. Three primary statutes must be ob-
served in the annual budget process: the Budget Law, the Cash Basis Law and the Debt Limit Law.
Basics of the municipal budgetfng process are outlined in the Budget Law—KSA 79-2925, et seq.
Specifically, those statutes require that citfes:
Prepare annual, itemized budgets.
Present the budget no later than August 1.
Do not budget contfngency amounts greater than 10 percent of budgeted expenditures.
Do not budget fund balances (for applicable funds) of more than 5 percent of expenditures.
Provide notfce of a public hearing no less than 10 days prior to the hearing.
Provide the adopted budget to the County Clerk by August 25th.
The State’s Cash Basis Law is outlined in K.S.A. 10-1101 et seq. which includes the following:
No city can create an indebtedness greater than the funds in the city’s treasury.
A city can issue “no fund warrants” by a resolutfon of the governing body declaring an
extraordinary emergency.
The Debt Limit Law is contained in K.S.A. 10-308 et seq. These statutes limit the total debt of a city to no
more than 30 percent of the assessed valuatfon of the city.
Basis of Accounting
Kansas legally requires a modified, accrual basis of accountfng. In the Modified Accrual basis, revenues
are not recognized untfl received and are available to use for expenditures. Expenditures are recognized
when the a liability is incurred. Modified Accrual basis differs from a Cash Basis system where transac-
tfons are recorded only when monies change hands.
The Modified Accrual method is similar to the registry of a check book, where transactfons are recorded
when checks are written, whether they are immediately cashed or not. Incoming revenues are only rec-
orded when they are received and available for expenditures. This approach prevents the City from over-
spending resources. The basis of budgetfng is the same as the basis of accountfng used in the City’s au-
dited financial statements.
Budgetary Controls
Budgets for local governments are a plan for spending, but spending is legally limited to approved
amounts. The City cannot spend more than is budgeted for each fund. If more is needed, a
budget adjustment, or amendment, must be approved. A budget amendment must be

The mission of the Public Works Department:
Design, construct and maintain public infrastructure
Offer solid and hazardous waste services to residents
Maintain the city's fleet
Provide support to other city departments
The Public Works Department is dedicated to providing a wide variety of services to enhance the quality of
life for all citfzens in our community. The department is divided into two divisions: Engineering and General
Services.
The Engineering Work Group is part of the Department of Public Works, which serves the public interest by
ensuring that all municipal public works improvements and facilitfes are designed and constructed in accord-
ance with established standards.
The Engineering Work Group coordinates all engineering services related to private development projects
during both planning and constructfon stages. Direct supervision and review of work performed by consultfng
engineers is also performed by the Department staff. In essence, the Engineering Work Group manages, de-
signs and constructs the majority of the projects included in the City's annual Capital Improvement Program.
Proper engineering data are formulated to meet the requirements of project feasibility reports, design con-
sideratfons, final plans, specificatfons, and other planning and engineering procedures. Engineering supervi-
sion is given to municipal public works improvement projects in surveying, analyzing bids, supervising con-
structfon, certffying progress of constructfon and recommending acceptance of work done by contrac-
tors. Depending upon the size and scope of an improvement project, the engineering services may be per-
formed in-house, rendered by engineering consultants, or by a combinatfon of the two.
The Engineering Work Group also performs all traffic safety and school services for the City. All mapping ser-
vices, including computerized geographical informatfon systems (G.I.S.), are provided by the Engineering
Work Group. Finally, the Work Group also performs the utflity locatfng and coordinatfon services for the wa-
ter, wastewater, storm water and traffic signal systems in the City.
Flood Control inspects, maintains and repairs the city’s flood control levee. Additfonally, the work group
oversees emergency response for high water events. Staff consists of one foreman, two maintenance work-
ers and one seasonal employee. Staff maintains 21 miles of levee, including two pumping plants, 25 struc-
tures, nine sandbag gaps and numerous inlet and outlet channels. They regularly inspect the levee including
its slopes, driving surface, gates, pumps and related equipment. They also inspect seven storm-water deten-
tfon ponds throughout Salina within various residentfal areas. Five of these ponds are mowed and main-
tained by Flood Control personnel and two ponds by others.

Sales Tax Capital & Economic Development Funds
Sales Tax
Sales tax collectfons are the responsibility of the Kansas Department of Revenue. The Department of Reve-
nue distributes the local optfon countywide and citywide sales taxes on a monthly basis. Countywide sales
taxes are distributed between the levying county and the citfes located within the county based on popula-
tfon and relatfve tax levies. Citywide local optfon sales taxes are distributed solely to the levying city.
Statewide sales taxes are retained entfrely by the state.
In 1982 the voters of Saline County, in accordance with Kansas statutes, approved a 1% countywide local
optfon sales tax. In 1992 voters of the City approved a local optfon .50% citywide sales tax for purposes of
helping fund general operatfons expenditures of the City. Both of these taxes were approved in perpetuity.
In November 2008, voters in the City of Salina approved an additfonal .40% citywide retailers dedicated
sales tax to pay the costs of various City capital improvements including constructfng, operatfng and main-
taining a $12.5 million aquatfc park.
In May of 2016, voters approved a .75% citywide retailers sales tax that will replace the 2008 sales tax on
October 1, 2016 and will be used for capital improvements and economic development.
The total sales tax for goods and services in the City will be 8.75% on October 1, 2016, which consists of
6.5% imposed by the State, 1% countywide local optfon sales tax, and 1.25% citywide local optfon sales tax.

Special Highway Fund
Streets crews repair and maintain the city’s streets, gravel roads and alleys in a variety of ways includ-
ing: asphalt and concrete replacement, pothole repair, right-of-way mowing, road and bridge mainte-
nance, snow plowing and street sweeping. Staff consists of one superintendent, two foremen, 24 full-
tfme and two seasonal employees.
The City of Salina has approximately:
733 lane miles of streets
21 vehicle bridges
Six pedestrian bridges
About 413 lane miles (56 percent) of Salina's streets are asphalt, 283 lane miles (39 percent) are con-
crete, 23 lane miles (three percent) are brick and 14 lane miles (two percent) are unimproved. There
are seven miles of roadway in our parks and about 11 miles of private roads.
Potholes & Street Repair
Potholes are a major problem in all Midwestern citfes, including Salina. The freeze-thaw cycles, which
usually occur in late winter, can cause extreme stress to pavement. Snow and ice melts during the day
and settles into cracks and holes in the pavement, then refreezes with the onset of colder nighttime
temperatures. The ice exerts tremendous force great enough to fracture concrete and asphalt, causing
potholes to form. Most potholes form in late winter and early spring when rain or snowmelt freezes
overnight; however, city crews repair potholes year-round.
Streets crews regularly replace badly damaged sectfons of asphalt and concrete.

Solid Waste Fund: Hazardous Waste
Household Hazardous Waste Facility
The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility inspects, packages and processes residentfal waste for dis-
posal or reuse. HHW staff also provides educatfonal materials to the public at schools and other local events.
The facility relies on voluntary partfcipatfon of citfzens. Staff consists of one certffied HHW coordinator and
occasional assistance from sanitatfon employees.
Many products used in our homes contain the same ingredients as industrial waste, yet are exempt from dis-
posal regulatfon. Leftover products or those unused for over a year are unlikely ever to be used, yet the risk
of spills or accidental poisoning of children or pets increases the longer the product remains in the home. The
HHW facility provides a means for citfzens to drop off these hazardous products at no charge.

Water and Wastewater Fund
The Municipal Utflitfes Department is composed of the water and wastewater facilitfes operated by the City
of Salina. The Utflitfes Department has 57 employees and is separated into two major divisions, Plant Opera-
tfons Division (Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant) and Utflity Division (Water Distribu-
tfon and Wastewater Collectfon). The Utflitfes Department is self-supportfng from user charges collected from
its customers. Administratfon provides customer service, management and support to the Plant Operatfons
and Utflity Divisions.
The City of Salina is committed to providing quality customer service to all customers. The Water Customer
Accountfng Office is responsible for the Accounts Receivable system for all City of Salina utflitfes (water,
wastewater, and refuse collectfon). The division bills nearly 20,000 customers per month on a cycle basis
(1,000 per day), and collects nearly $17.1 million per year to support the water, wastewater and refuse col-
lectfon systems in the City. The meter staff also work out of this division, reading all the meters within Salina
as well as working service orders (new accounts, final accounts, etc.).
The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) staff provides customer service and maintains the WTP. Treatment in-
cludes settling, softening, filtratfon and disinfectfon. The WTP has the capability to treat 20 million gallons per
day (mgd) of raw water, ten mgd from the Smoky Hill River and ten mgd from the downtown well field (15
wells). The WTP currently treats approximately five mgd in the winter and up to ten mgd in the summer. To-
tal water treated in 2015 was 1.98 billion gallons, which included 0.98 billion gallons from the Smoky Hill Riv-
er and 1.00 billion gallons from the Downtown Well Field. The water is chemically treated to meet or exceed
standards of the Kansas State Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the U.S. Environmental
Protectfon Agency (EPA). Compliance with those standards is assured by extensive testfng in both the plant
and throughout the complete water distributfon system.
The Water Distributfon staff provides customer service and maintains the Water Distributfon System, which
consists of eight elevated water storage tanks on five separate pressure zones, five pressure booster pump
statfons, 332 miles of water main, 4,371 valves, 2,424 fire hydrants and 20,176 water services and meters.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) staff provides customer service and maintains the WWTP. Treat-
ment includes preliminary screening with grit removal, primary clarificatfon, trickling filters, actfvated sludge
and ultraviolet disinfectfon. The WWTP has the capability to treat 7.25 mgd of raw wastewater and currently
treats approximately 3.6 mgd. Total wastewater treated in 2015 was 1.21 billion gallons. A total of 1,213 tons
of bio-solids (beneficial byproduct of wastewater treatment) were produced and applied to area farmland for
beneficial use. The wastewater generated by the City is treated to standards specified by the KDHE and dis-
charged to the Smoky Hill River. A total of 13 industrial users are permitted and monitored to ensure dis-
charge water meets the City’s Industrial Pretreatment requirements.
The Wastewater Collectfon staff provides customer service and maintains the Wastewater Collectfon System,
which consists of 230 miles of sanitary sewer mains, 4,803 manholes and 59 wastewater pump statfons.

Property Tax
Information

The determinatfon of assessed valuatfon and the collectfon of property taxes for all politfcal subdivisions
in the State of Kansas is conducted by Kansas countfes. The Saline County Appraiser’s office determines
annually the assessed valuatfon that is used as a basis for the mill levy on property located in the City.
The County Appraiser’s determinatfon is based on criteria established by Kansas Statutes.
The market valuatfon of every property must be updated every year, with physical inspectfon required
once every six years. Valuatfons as of January 1 are made available in September of each year for taxes
payable during the next calendar year. The State Constftutfon provides that, for ad valorem taxatfon pur-
poses, real and personal property are divided into classes and assessed at percentages of market value.
Property taxes are certffied by the City to the County Clerk by August 25 of each year for the following
fiscal year. Taxes are levied by the County Clerk and payable to the County Treasurer. Property taxes may
be paid in two installments, the first due December 20 in the year the taxes are levied and the second
due May 10 of the following year. Taxes become delinquent after May 10 and interest accrues at a rate
set by State statute untfl paid of untfl the property is sold for taxes. Special assessments are levied and
collected in the same manner as property taxes.
Citfes within Kansas are permitted to issue bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed 30% of the total
assessed valuatfon of the city. Bonds issued for the purpose of improving, acquiring, enlarging, or extend-
ing municipal utflitfes, including storm and sanitary sewer systems; bonds issued to pay the cost of im-
provements to intersectfons and streets in front of city or school district property; bonds for bridges as
authorized by a vote of the electors of a city; bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds; and bonds paya-
ble from revenue sources other than the general taxing authority of the city are not included in total ag-
gregate debt for purposes of computfng a city’s debt limitatfon.

Appendix C: City Indebtedness
Historical Debt Information
The following table shows historical balances of outstanding general obligatfon bonds for the City during
the most recent five-year period.
Future Indebtedness
The City annually prepares and adopts a five-year capital improvements plan. This plan identffies and prioritfzes potentfal capi-
tal improvement projects within the City and includes the respectfve funding sources. Over the next two years the City antfci-
pates issuing general obligatfon bonds to retfre its outstanding Series 2016-2 and 2017-1 Temporary Note as well as providing
general obligatfon note and/or bond funding for approximately $4 million for the constructfon of a Police Training Center. Bor-
rowing amounts described above do not include future subdivision improvement projects financed with general obligatfon
bonds payable as to both principal and interest in part from special assessments levied upon the benefitted property. The City
typically undertakes such projects after receiving and reviewing a valid petftfon from property owners.
The City has been involved with civil litfgatfon concerning environmental contaminatfon in certain areas within the boundaries
of the Salina Airport Industrial Center. The contaminatfon was caused by military actfvity that occurred between 1942 and
1966 when the site was operated as the Schilling Air Force Base. The City, the Salina Airport Authority, Unified School District
No. 305, and Kansas State University (the “Salina Public Entftfes”) sued the United States seeking federal funds to clean up fed-
eral agency (DoD) caused contaminatfon. The Salina Public Entftfes have reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. De-
partment of Justfce (DOJ) and the terms of the settlement are detailed in a Consent Decree filed in U.S. District Court on May
2nd, 2013. The Consent Decree provides for a 10% local share of initfal project costs to be paid by the City. The Consent De-
cree settlement is in relatfon to an investfgatfon to determine the extent and severity of the contaminatfon and to determine
the best method of remediatfon. It does not include any funding for actual remediatfon, but the investfgatfon is fully funded by
the settlement. Once the investfgatfon is completed, there will be another round of negotfatfons with the Federal Government
to determine respectfve financial responsibilitfes for remediatfng the contaminatfon. In the event funding cannot be secured
in a tfmely fashion or in sufficient amounts, it may be necessary for the City to issue debt to relocate certain water supply
wells. The exact tfming and amount, if any, of such borrowing cannot be determined at this tfme. If City borrowing is neces-
sary for the project, it is antfcipated that utflity revenue bonds will be the final type of debt considered.

Appendix D: Financial Policies
Accounting, Auditing, Financial Reporting Policy
A. The City will establish and maintain accountfng records in such a manner that reports may be
issued on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accountfng Principles (GAAP) and statutory
requirements.
B. The City will maintain a record of fixed assets which identffies all material City assets, except for
general infrastructure assets. General Infrastructure assets are assets such as streets and drainage
facilitfes which, if properly maintained, have an indeterminate life.
C. The City will contract for an annual audit of City accountfng records. The audit shall be conduct-
ed in accordance with the Federal Single Audit Act, if required, and shall provide an opinion on the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report which shall be prepared on a GAAP basis.
D. The City will annually submit documentatfon to qualify for the Government Finance Officers As-
sociatfon "Certfficate of Achievement in Financial Reportfng".
E. The City will comply with all financial reportfng requirements set forth in Kansas law.
F. The City will identffy and implement less formal methods than the annual budget document and
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to provide important financial data to the citfzens of
the community. Efforts will be made to provide these "popular reports" via print and electronic
media.
G. The City Manager will provide the City Commission with a year end summary (unaudited) finan-
cial report within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. Interim updates on financial conditfon shall
also be provided to the City Commission throughout the fiscal year.
Capital Improvement Program
A. The City shall establish a five-year Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) to guide decision-
making on public improvements and expenditures. The C.I.P. provides a mechanism for scheduling
public physical improvements over a number of years. It establishes the City’s prioritfes for public
projects based on available financial resources and project criteria.
B. The C.I.P. shall be updated annually following analysis of year-end financial reports, and prior to
the adoptfon of the City’s annual operatfng budget. Generally, the updated C.I.P. shall be approved
by the City Commission by April 10 of each year.
C. The City shall use a portfon of its annual budgeted revenues for cash capital investments. Mill
levy proceeds, sales taxes, user fees or other local revenues may be dedicated for capital improve-
ments.
D. The City will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect its capital investment and
to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. The C.I.P. and budget will provide for
the major renovatfon and orderly replacement of buildings, facilitfes and equipment from cur-
rent revenues where possible.
E. The Capital Improvement Plan shall include an appropriate reserve for contfngencies for ap-
proved projects.
171
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Capital Improvement Program, cont.
F. City staff, in making C.I.P. recommendatfons to the City Commission, shall use the following criteria in
evaluatfng projects.
Priority consideratfon will be given to:
1. Capital investment projects which preserve existfng infrastructure and maintain basic public services.
2. Capital projects which implement a component of an approved City plan.
3. Projects which specifically replace or renovate an essentfal, but obsolete, facility.
4, Projects which reduce the cost of operatfons, maintenance or energy consumptfon.
5. Projects identffied as addressing important public health and safety issues.
6. Projects mandated by the federal or state government.
7. Projects which are funded, in whole or in part, by leveraged or partnership funding, including grants,
private funds, etc.
G. Certain capital improvement projects lend themselves specifically to public-private partnership,
wherein project funding would be derived partfally from the City and partfally from private donatfons,
dedicated user fees and other non-city sources. Community proponents wishing to initfate such projects
should first present a concept plan to the City Commission, including a financial cost-sharing plan for both
the initfal capital costs, as well as the ongoing cost for operatfons and maintenance. Generally, the City
Commission will consider proposed partnership projects at its regular C.I.P. planning period during the
first quarter or each year. If approved by the City Commission, proponents would be encouraged to com-
plete project plans and initfate fund-raising efforts.
H. Certain non-infrastructure capital projects may be of such type and scope as to be beyond the finan-
cial capacity of the City without additfonal revenues, and thus may be appropriate for public referendum.
Public Referendum projects should fall within the following criteria:
1. Projects not involving public health and safety or basic infrastructure; and. with a capital cost estfmate
of $750,000 or greater; or,
2. Potentfally requiring a significant ongoing City appropriatfon for operatfons and maintenance.
Proponents of such projects may circulate a petftfon in accordance with state law, calling for a public ref-
erendum on the project and specified funding source. The City Commission shall determine whether the
City takes an official positfon on the issue. If approved by the voters, the project would be completed.
I. The C.I.P. as approved annually, shall contain the following sectfons:
1. A listfng of preliminarily approved capital projects, including estfmated cost and funding source by
years, which have undergone review for costs and benefits and have identffied funding expected to be
available for the project.
2. A separate listfng of potentfal capital projects which require significant additfonal informatfon, e.g.
concept design, feasibility report, cost estfmates, funding source analysis, etc. before they can be formally
considered for approval and placement in a specific year in the C.I.P. This sectfon shall be tftled “Projects
For Further Review.”
3. A separate listfng of projects for which adequate informatfon exists as to planning, estfmated costs,
benefits, etc. and which the City Commission agrees would be desirable projects for the community in the
future, but for which an adequate and appropriate funding mechanism has not yet been determined as
available. This sectfon shall be tftled “Projects Identffied But Unfunded.”
4. An identfficatfon within any of the “Five-Year,” “Further Review,” or “Identffied But Unfunded” catego-
ries of any projects specified as “Partnership Projects” or “Public Referendum Projects.”
172
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Cash Management Policy
A. The City will maintain one primary checking account. Other checking accounts may be used when
required by: bond covenants; grant programs; or specialized actfvitfes such as the recreatfon actfvity
account, the Tony’s Pizza Event Center account and the Water and Wastewater Petty Cash account.
All checking accounts must be approved by the Director of Finance
B. Petty cash funds may be established with the approval of the City Commission.
C. All checking and petty cash funds shall be balanced monthly. Reconciliatfons shall be maintained

ty, liquidity, maturitfes, allowed investments, diversificatfon, safekeeping, and other such issues.
Debt Management Policy
A. The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements which have an extended ser-
vice life to the community.
B. The City will use short-term debt (up to four years maturity) for bond antfcipatfon purposes, or for
the purposes of financing Capital Improvements for which it is not practfcable to rely on cash financ-
ing, and for which long term bonds are not deemed to be appropriate.
C. The City will follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial report and Preliminary or Official
Statement used to evaluate the City’s financial conditfon for bond ratfng or investment purposes.
D. General Obligatfon debt may be used for enterprise actfvitfes, providing the specific enterprise
fund makes the debt service payments on the bonds.
E. General Obligatfon Bonds (City at-large portfon) will normally be issued with a maturity not to ex-
ceed 10 years. The City Commission may designate specific projects in the Capital Improvements Pro-
gram for extended financing periods, not to exceed 15 years, due to the size, scope, life, or develop-
mental impact of the project. The District portfon for Special Assessment Bonds may not exceed 15
years. Revenue Bonds, or GO bonds for which enterprise revenue has been pledged, will be issued
with a maturity not to exceed 20 years.
F. General Obligatfon Bonds shall be issued with approximately level principal payments. Revenue
Bonds shall be issued with approximately level debt service payments.
G. The City will apply for a bond ratfng from Moody’s Investors Service for every bond issue, and
make all reasonable efforts necessary to maintain the City’s bond ratfngs and seek upgrades when
financial conditfons merit.
173
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Fund Balance
A. The City recognizes the need to maintain appropriate fund balances to: secure and maintain invest-
ment-grade credit ratfngs; meet seasonal requirements in cash flow; and, reduce susceptfbility to nega-
tfve impacts from emergency or unantfcipated expenditures or to revenue shortialls.
B. To meet these requirements, the City will adopt budgets which provide for an undesignated fund bal-
ance reserve in each of the City’s budgeted funds, in accordance with the following guidelines:
1. General Fund – A fund balance reserve of not less than 15% nor more than 20% of antfcipated current
year revenues for the fund.
2. Employee Benefits Fund – A fund balance reserve of not less than 10% nor more than 20% of antfcipat-
ed current year revenues for the fund.
3. Bond and Interest Fund – A fund balance of not less than 10% nor more than 15% of the antfcipated
General Obligatfon debt bond and interest payments for the upcoming budget year, including any special
assessment-paid debt, but excluding debt planned for repayment by enterprise funding or other City
funds.
4. Other Budgeted Funds – Fund balance reserves shall be planned for and maintained as needed, based
on the volatflity and reliability of the revenue mix for the fund, as well as the predictability and degree to
which expenditures in the fund are controllable.
C. In June of each year, prior to the presentatfon of the proposed budget, the City Manager shall recom-
mend to the City Commission specific fund balance targets for each budgeted fund, based on guidelines
established above. Upon acceptance by the City Commission, those targets shall be used in the upcoming
budget planning, as well as financial reportfng for the next year.
D. Fund balance reserves shall generally be shown as appropriatfons in the City budget, but shall be des-
ignated separately in the budget and staff financial reports.
E. The City Manager shall provide the City Commission with a year-end fund balance reserve report with-
in 60 days following the end of the fiscal year. This preliminary report shall provide results for each budg-
eted fund compared to its established fund balance target, as well as staff analysis of revenue or expendi-
ture occurrences accountfng for any variance. If a fund balance at year-end has failed to meet its estab-
lished target, the City Manager shall prepare and recommend a plan designed to address the shortiall. If
a fund balance at year-end exceeds the established target, as well as the current budget estfmate, the
City Commission may consider use of the unantfcipated available funds in accordance with the following
guidelines: (contfnued on next page)
174
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Fund Balance , cont.
1. General Fund – Uses
One-tfme expenditures which do not substantfally increase recurring operatfng costs.
Newly identffied or previously unfunded capital improvement projects, considered in light of the full
capital improvement program.
Shifting of capital projects from bond financing to cash financing, to reduce future debt service
costs.
Start-up expenditures for new programs undertaken at mid-year, provided that such actfon is con-
sidered in the context of revenue expectatfons and expenditure obligatfons in future budget years.
2. Bond and Interest Fund
If the year-end Bond and Interest Fund balances exceed the target as well as current budget estf-
mates, the allocatfon of mill levy/property tax to that fund shall be adjusted for the next budget
year to bring the fund balance reserves in line with the established targets.
3. Other Budgeted Funds
If the year-end fund balances in any fund exceed the target fund balance and current budget estf-
mate, the City Manager shall provide analysis and impact evaluatfon of that situatfon. The City
Commission will take into account any unantfcipated available funds when considering capital pur-
chases, one-tfme program needs, or setting of user fees.
Investment Policy
A. Scope
This investment policy applies to the investment actfvitfes of the City of Salina for all of the funds en-
trusted to its care, including bond proceeds and building funds.
B. Objectfves
1. Safety of principal. The first objectfve for each investment transactfon is to insure that capital
losses are avoided.
2. The City of Salina's cash management portiolio shall be designed with the objectfve of regularly
exceeding the State Investment Rate for 0 –89 days, or for 3 months, whichever is higher. These
indices reflect the fed funds rate, and the 3 month treasury securitfes yield, and are considered
benchmarks for risk free investment transactfons, and therefore comprise a minimum standard for
the portiolio's return. The investment program shall seek to achieve returns above this threshold,
consistent with risk limitatfons identffied herein and prudent investment principles.
175
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Investment Policy, cont.
3. All investments shall me made in accordance with State Law.
4. The investment portiolio is subject to public review and evaluatfon. The overall program shall be de-
signed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The governing body,
however, recognizes that in a diversified portiolio occasional accountfng losses from the sale of a security
are possible, and must be considered within the context of the overall portiolio's investment safety and
return.
C. Delegatfon of Authority
Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the Director of Finance
and Administratfon, who shall establish written procedures for the operatfon of the investment program,
consistent with this investment policy, and subject to the approval of the City Manager. Such procedures
shall include explicit delegatfon of authority, where appropriate, to persons responsible for the invest-
ment transactfons. No person may engage in an investment transactfon except as provided under the
terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Director of Finance and Administratfon. The
Director of Finance and Administratfon shall be responsible for all transactfons undertaken and shall es-
tablish a system of controls to regulate the actfvitfes of subordinate officials.
D. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" and shall be
applied in the context of managing the overall portiolio. Investment officers actfng in accordance with
written procedures and exercising due diligence shall be relieve of personal responsibility for an individu-
al securitfes credit risk or market price changes, provided deviatfons from expectatfons are reported in a
tfmely fashion and appropriate actfon is taken to avoid adverse developments.
E. Internal Controls
The Director of Finance and Administratfon shall establish a system of internal controls with respect to
investment actfvitfes. Such internal controls shall be documented in writfng. The internal controls shall
be reviewed with the Independent auditor. The controls shall be designed to provide reasonable assur-
ances against losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentatfon by third par-
tfes, unantfcipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actfons by employees and officers of the
City of Salina. Internal controls shall be so designed as to achieve the above listed objectfves without be-
ing unduly burdensome on the organizatfon.
176
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Investment Policy, cont.
F. Allowed Investments
The Director of Finance and Administratfon may invest in any investment allowed under Kansas Law
applicable to the City of Salina at the tfme the investment is made. These include, as of the effectfve
date of the policy, the following:
1. N.O.W. accounts, Pass book savings accounts, money market accounts in designated Depository
Banks.
2. Temporary Notes or no-fund warrants issued by the City of Salina;
3. Certfficates of Deposit in banks, savings banks, and savings and loans organized under the laws of
the United States or incorporated under the laws of the State of Kansas, having a main office within
the State of Kansas, and which have main or branch offices located within the City of Salina.
4. In United States Treasury bills or notes
5. In the Municipal Investment Pool
6. Repurchase agreements
7. Expanded Powers:
In the event that the City of Salina applies for and receives authority to invest under KSA
12-1677b (the "expanded powers" statute), investments may also include direct obliga-
tfons of, or obligatfons that are insured as to principal and interest by the United States
of America or any agency thereof; and obligatfons and securitfes of United states spon-
sored enterprises which may be accepted as security for public funds; excluding mort-
gage backed securitfes. The Director of Finance and Administratfon shall maintain a list
of securitfes authorized under this sectfon
G. Maturitfes
Assets of the City of Salina may be invested in instruments whose maturitfes do not exceed two
years, provided that in the event authority to invest under KSA 12-1677b is granted, the maximum
maturity shall be 4 years. Investment maturitfes shall be scheduled on a laddered basis in a manner
as to coincide with projected cash flow needs.
177
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Investment Policy, cont.
H. Risk and Diversificatfon
The goal of diversificatfon is to reduce the extent of losses due to having an unbalanced portiolio in terms
of maturitfes, instrument type, and issuers. Therefore, portiolio maturitfes shall be staggered to avoid
undue concentratfon of assets in a specific maturity sector.
Liquidity, free of market risk, shall be assured through practfces insuring that the next disbursement date
and payroll date are covered through maturing investments, marketable U.S. Treasury Bills, the Daily Mu-
nicipal Investment Pool, or money market accounts.
Default risk shall be minimized by requiring that all security purchases occur on a delivery vs. payment
basis, and that all securitfes are adequately collateralized.
Risk of market price volatflity shall be controlled through the adoptfon of a "buy and hold" strategy
whereby the City holds each investment to maturity, coupled with maintenance of an adequate liquidity
positfon to insure the ability to meet normal antfcipated cash flow needs. When advantageous, it is al-
lowable to sell investments to realize a gain due to price fluctuatfons; however, such transactfons shall
not be a part of the normal course of business.
The City of Salina recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes
or various technical complicatfons leading to temporary illiquidity. Portiolio diversificatfon is employed as
a way to control risk due to issuer default. In the event of a default by a specific issuer, the
Director of Finance and Administratfon shall review, and, if appropriate, proceed to liquidate securitfes
having comparable credit risks.
I. Collateralizatfon, Safekeeping, and Custody
1. Deposits and Re-purchase Agreements
Collateralizatfon shall be required on all deposits and repurchase agreements. Collateral pledged must
meet state statute requirements, and must be held by the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan
Bank in Topeka, or by a third party custodian pursuant to an adopted tripartfte custody agreement. The
City of Salina shall enter into a Security Agreement for Deposits with the depository bank for all deposits.
The city will receive a deposit advice for the pledged securitfes from the Federal Reserve Bank, or a joint
custody receipt from the third party custodian. The maximum Federal Insurance provided for account
customers can be considered a part of the instftutfons pledged collateral. Collateralizatfon shall be main-
tained at 100% of the market value of principal and accrued interest at all tfmes, including peak periods.
At the end of each month, the depository bank will provide the market value of each pledged security to
the City.
178
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Investment Policy, cont.
In the event a third party custodian is used, such custodian shall not have an ownership relatfonship or
affiliatfon with the depository bank.
Pledged collateral shall not be released untfl an acceptable re-pledging of collateral is made by the depos-
itory bank and confirmed to the Director of Finance and Administratfon or their designee in the event of a
transfer of collateral.
2. Investments (Treasury Securitfes, Agency Securitfes)
Collateralizatfon of investments shall be by the actual investment instrument.
All securitfes owned by the City of Salina must be perfected in the name of the City of Salina, and held by
the City or its authorized safekeeping agent. All investments of the City of Salina shall be confirmed and
safekeeping receipts identffying the investment security shall be issued as required by this policy.
The City will enter into a safekeeping agreement with a safekeeping agent whereby all investments are
held in the City's account in the City's name by the safekeeping agent.
By state statute, all Municipal Investment Pool accounts shall be exempt from providing safekeeping re-
ceipts or written confirmatfon. The Director of finance or designee may receive verbal confirmatfon by
phone following Municipal Investment Pool guidelines.
J. Interest Earnings
The Director of Finance and Administratfon will designate which funds are to receive interest earnings.
Interest earnings will be credited to those funds based on the average of the balance on the first day of
the month and the cash balance on the last day of the month. This distributfon may be manually adjust-
ed if, in the Director's judgment, there are obvious interfund inequitfes.
K. Authorized Depositories, Instftutfons, and Broker/Dealers
Kansas State Law provides that City funds may be deposited (in checking, money market accounts, certffi-
cates of deposit and other similar "deposits") in those instftutfons designated by resolutfon as an author-
ized depository. This is further limited by the requirement that funds may not be deposited in instftu-
tfons that do not have a "main" office within the State of Kansas unless satfsfactory arrangements cannot
be negotfated with an instftutfon with a main office within the State of Kansas.
This limitatfon does not apply to the purchase of investments such as treasury and agency securitfes. In-
vestment services, consistfng of the purchase of treasury securitfes, agency securitfes, or other invest-
ments as may be permitted shall be limited to the following:
1. Any State or Natfonally Chartered Bank authorized as a depository, whether or not said instftutfon has
a "main" office within the State of Kansas, and;
2. The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Missouri
3. Primary Government securitfes Dealers which report to the market report division of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York
4. Broker-Dealers who are registered in compliance with the requirements of sectfon 15C of the Securi-
tfes Exchange Act of 1934, and registered pursuant to K. S. A. 17-1254.
The Director of Administratfon and Finance may establish additfonal informatfon requirements as
deemed necessary to assure the safety of the City’s investments, and shall maintain a list of financial in-
stftutfons and broker dealers who have been qualified to provide services to the City of Salina.
179
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Investment Policy, cont.
L. Bank Services
Periodically, as deemed necessary, The City of Salina may invite proposals from financial instftutfons lo-
cated within the City, for the purpose of providing comprehensive bank services, including checking and
money market accounts, safekeeping as well as other services as may be deemed necessary. The partfci-
patfng instftutfons will be evaluated with procedures established by the Director of Administratfon and
Finance in conjunctfon with other City administratfve staff.
M. Reportfng and Evaluatfon
At the end of each calendar quarter, the Director of Finance and Administratfon shall prepare and submit
to the City Manager a report outlining the quarter's investment actfvity. Such report shall contain suffi-
cient informatfon to evaluate the performance of the investment program and verify that investment offi-
cials have acted in accordance with the investment policy and written investment procedures.
Operating Budget

City Commission review and discussion on or before July 10 each year, along with a calendar for tfmely
consideratfon and approval of the budget by August 15, as required by State Law.

Appendix D: Financial Policies
Operating Budget, cont.
D. Funds may be added to or removed from the budget as requirements change. In general, any con-
tfnuing operatfons of the City shall be accounted for through budgeted funds. Non-budgeted funds are
used for constructfon projects authorized through the issuance of debt, for trust and agency actfvitfes,
for actfvitfes funded by State and Federal Grants that are not of a contfnuing nature, and for special
purpose reserve funds. Unless otherwise provided in authorizing legislatfon, expenditures from special
purpose reserve funds shall not be made unless there are no other resources available to accomplish
the desired task. Should resources from special purpose reserve funds be required, any such expendi-
ture shall be processed through a budgeted fund.
E. All budgets will be adopted on a cash basis as modified to include as expenditures for the fiscal year:
expenditures incurred but not paid; and purchase commitments. Revenues will be recognized at the
tfme payment is received, whether or not it was billed or due in another period.
F. All appropriatfons lapse at year-end except for encumbered appropriatfons, which are carried for-
ward into the next fiscal year as reservatfons of fund balance.
G. The budget shall be adopted at the fund level. Expenditures may not exceed the fund's budget
without approval from the City Commission. When appropriate, the budget for a fund may be repub-
lished to reflect changes deemed necessary and appropriate by the City Commission.
H. Department budgets will also be specified during the annual budget. The City Manager may au-
thorize transfers of authorizatfons between departments within the same fund and transfers of au-
thorizatfons between line items within a department.
I. The City will include an amount in the general fund budget (i.e., a line item for contfngencies) for un-
foreseen operatfng expenditures. The amount of the contfngency will be no more than 2% of the oper-
atfng budget.
J. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital equipment and facilitfes and for their
orderly replacement, in conjunctfon with the adopted multf-year Capital Improvements Program.
K. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to monitor compliance with the budget.
L. Enterprise funds shall be self-supportfng. Internal Service funds shall be self-supportfng to the
greatest extent practfcable. However, the City Commission may authorize transfers from other funds
as they deem necessary for Internal Service operatfons.
M. It shall be a goal of the City of Salina to reduce reliance on ad-valorem property taxes in the fund-
ing of city services.
181
Appendix D: Financial Policies
Revenue Policy
A. The City will follow an aggressive policy of collectfng all revenues properly owed to the city govern-
ment.
B. The City will review user fees/charges annually, and the City Manager shall make recommendatfons
for any adjustments on the basis of that review.
C. The City will try to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter it from short-run fluctu-
atfons in any one revenue source. The revenue mix should combine elastfc and inelastfc revenue sources
to minimize the effect of an economic downturn.
D. The City will set fees and user charges for each Enterprise Fund, at a level which fully supports the to-
tal direct and indirect cost of the actfvity. The City Enterprise operatfons include: Water and
Wastewater; Solid Waste (Landfill); Sanitatfon (trash collectfon); and Golf Course.
E. Recognizing that the public good may be better served by setting some fees at less than 100% of an
actfvity's cost, fees and user charges for certain non-enterprise city services and programs may be set a
level which only provide partfal user fee funding of actfvity costs.
